"Weekday Norway Runway"
by http://www.oslostil.com/
The video is filmed by the "Oslostil Team", a group of Norwegian photographers who love fashion. They believe that it is possible to find inspiration on stylish fashion from ordinary people on the street, and it is just as good as to read a fashion magazine. They take pictures of ordinary people on the street and post it on their website. This video is their first attempt to transform their work into a podcast and is picked by Current TV as one their TV programmes.
When I play the video, I am immediately attracted by its background music, it is energetic, and is best match the theme of stylish fashion. At the beginning of the video, we can see the street sides of Oslo, one of the biggest cities in Norway. Then the host appears in the video, in a style that looks like he is holding the camera by himself because we can only see his head and is a bit shaky. He announces the main idea of this video - to find stylish people on the streets of Oslo and to share their fashion tips. This filming style can always be found in documentary video that only one person in charge of the whole filming process, that is to be the cameraman as well as the host. This kind of documentary style gives the audiences an honest and comfort feeling and enhances the level of audience involvement. In the rest of the video, we can only see the interviewees on the screen and hear the voice of the host in the background. Besides, I also like the filming angles of the video. The host tries to film the interviewees in different angles, zoom in and out, move from top to bottom randomly, and this way enhances the stylish feeling as well. The editing is good too, every move of the interviewees seems to match with the rhythm of the background music, makes their moves and the constantly changing filming angles seems smooth and natural.
I enjoy watching this video and to see how people and places are like in the European countries.
